The TIPF Album

[ChrisLumix]

That's a great thing Dee. What follows is not meant to be insulting ... it's just that the music reminded me of Karl Orff.

Love it Chris!!  No offence taken, and I can see exactly where you are coming from, with words that you 'don't understand.'

I love all of Carmina Burana anyway, and O Fortuna is one of my favourites, but I've never seen it represented in that way - thanks!!

I was brought up with the high-octane Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra version which my father had on vinyl. Luckily enough it still exists and can be downloaded from iTunes etc. Actually, I think the "misheard lyrics" version above may be one and the same:

Nice to hear such a classic without the drums / rock add-ons, though a bit weird at first.

Here's my favourite of theirs:

I must admit that thus had me completely mesmerised.......it was sent to me  in jest as a suggestion for Knee exerciseS.

Its on a par with the Backup Coconutters.....Korky will love it.......could it start a new dance craze here do you think?

ENJOY! .........FUJI

Fuji - that is a brilliant one to show my exercise groups, but won't hold my breath that they are going to try it!!

I nominate I Fought the Law, done by at least 90 different bands, I have 35 different versions but mine is the version by the Crickets

 

[ChrisLumix]

The original is probably the best ... and has the most tragic story attached. No-one really knows what really happened to Bobby Fuller but it's a fact, he was found dead in a car with serious injuries a year after the chart hit. Some say the Mafia.

[Ryewolf]

The Crickets was the orignal, written not long after Buddy Holly died, the Bobby Fuller Four versioon is probably the more well known as it was a top 10 hit.

For my ext trac I nominate Maple Leaf Rag by Vince Giordano from the Boardwalk Empire Series. I can't listen to for more than 20 seconds before wanting to get and do those daft 20's dances, I scared my little cat Cali, guess she's not used to me moving about as fast as that. Mind you after that she did go on a mad do herself, tear-assing around the house...

For Lemmy, RIP

Love every single song of Neil Diamond, Ron - looking at that one took me back to when I had a HUGE crush on him!! We saw him live once in Melbourne - fantastic.

[Denis]

RIP Glenn, you can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave....

Another from a while ago....

Judging by your reaction last time I posted anything like this, I can already feel your contempt and dislike, but guess what? I DON'T CARE!

 

 

[Black Pearl]

I have the album somewhere but it's been a while since I've listened to them. 

 

 

[Black Pearl]

I subscribe to a Hi-Fi magazine - before kids it was one of my serious interests and I still have a decent if old system but these days its all pushed away as general household 'stuff' gets in the way and I have to dream.

Anyhoo I love to read the New Music section for recording artists I've yet to discover - this month I have found Rokia Traoré and a quick search on Apple Music pulled up her albums.

I love this track which starts her 2008 album Tchamantché:

ROFL. The same Apple who make iTunes, to which I'm listening right this minute so I'm not free to press Play on this!

Well I suppose if you were listening to the wireless you'd have to get up, walk over to it, turn it down then listen to this so a quick keyboard shuffle isn't exactly the end of the world. 

[Guest Judy]

Not everyone's taste but RIP Terry Wogan;

 

 

 

 

 

[ChrisLumix]

Very sad news. One of the most likeable characters. (Not sure this thing does his memory justice though!)

[Guest Ron]

I do like this
